“Through Merciful Eyes”
Keith Pringle
From the Platform Music Group CD
Nothing Too Hard for God (2010)
“Through Merciful Eyes” is a simple, slow-paced, antiphonal gospel from Keith Pringle. The lyrics praise the God of second chances and serve as Pringle’s own testimony.
During one portion of the performance, Pringle describes the glimmer of hope he encountered during the dark days that kept him out of the gospel spotlight. God told him, “Oh no, brother, you aren’t finished yet. I have some more work for you to do.” The singer adds, “He gave me favor when I didn’t think anybody loved me.”
The melody and arrangement are based on well-honed contemporary choral techniques. Unlike the “anybody” of the song, TBGB is grateful that Minister “Call Him Up” Pringle has returned to the active gospel music scene.
